5 recruiting tips for 2019 that you need to put into action ASAP

Use
Social Recruiting to Spread the Word

In
today’s hyper connected virtual world, sticking to old school
recruitment strategies like newspapers and niche job boards is not
enough to tap top candidates. Promoting your job openings on popular
and preferred social networks like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter
will allow you to access a much wider user base.

Posting professional, informative and attractive job adverts with a compelling CTA on social media channels will not only help attract active talent and but also entice passive talent to apply.

The resume screening process takes the longest in the recruitment cycle when performed manually. Having an applicant tracking system that screens resumes based on desired qualifications and experiences in a fraction of seconds, will save you hundreds of hours!

You
can then put your shortlisted candidates through a skills test and
narrow down your pool of qualified candidates. This will eliminate
all irrelevant profiles and leave you with top choice candidates. So,
let the applicant tracking system do all the legwork and filter the
right fit with skills testing, saving all your time and sanity for
interviews – Win-win!

Write Clear and Captivating Job Descriptions to Attract the Right Fit

Knowing
what motivates a candidate to apply for a job opening will help you
draft a job description that will attract the right resumes in a
candidate-driven market. If you want to get your job description
right, the first time, make sure it clearly offers a balanced work
life, an attractive compensation, a positive work environment, and
growth opportunities.

Here’s
a complete
checklist
with actionable examples to help you create magnetic job
descriptions.

Automate Candidate Communication to Keep Candidates Engaged

Recruitment
requires you to deal with a vast number of candidates for different
positions every day. From sending out application acknowledgement
emails and interview reminders to engaging shortlisted candidates and
informing rejected candidates about their application status,
communication takes up tremendous time and effort.

But
neglecting candidate communication can hurt the hiring process and
so, the best way to tackle this tedious and time-consuming task is
automating candidate engagement with an applicant tracking software.

Applicant tracking software allows recruiters to personalize email templates at every stage of the sourcing process whether it is sending performance feedback or customized interview confirmations or updating rejected candidates. With applicant tracking system, candidates remain updated at every step of the sourcing process which significantly minimizes the risk of bad reviews from rejected candidates.

Capitalize on the Power of Automation to Boost Your Conversion Rate

Recruiters
can rely on applicant tracking systems to automate every manual task
from start to finish. This takes the entire recruitment process from
months and weeks to hours and minutes, freeing up a lot of valuable
recruitment time, allowing busy recruiters to stay focused on
conducting interviews and getting the best of the lot onboard, at the
right time.
